wiring help

Wanting to keep my factory stereo in my car. There’s a stock subwoofer in the hatch, and I was wondering if I would have to use left speaker input wires, right speaker input wires, or if I could combine both right and left speaker input wires from the LOC to the stock sub. Line Output Converter...

Can anyone assist with what wires connect where? Standard telephone cable from monoblock amp for subs through to 6 terminal volume knob. Ive had this working in the past with only 2 wires connected. However my mechanic ruined the connection, and has made good by putting new connectors on it for...

Hey guys, this is my first post, Im not really sure how to use this forum. I’m running a CT.1000.1 Amp, and all of a sudden the blue power light has dimmed drastically. I.e. it used to be able to be seen from the drivers seat, now I have to hold a hand around it to see that it’s glowing. I...

I have a Skar RP-800.1D, it is a monoblock with 2 sets of speaker terminals. I know that this is for easier wiring/ more space for wires. My question is when I wire this into my DVC sub, can I just run + to +, + to +, - to -, and - to -, and would this end up as parallel wiring? -For any...

Its been a few years since I installed a system in my cars myself, so I've forgotten some stuff. I currently have 2 Alpine Type R DVC 4 10s running @ 2ohms x 2 on a Pioneer GM-A5702. My question is this, would it be better to leave these wired at 2ohm or bridge the amp to 1 channel @ 4ohm and...

I've purchased a Sundown NS-1 and it doesn't have internal fuses and I'm scared of blowing it up. In the manual it says that the amp recommends a 650a fuse and they don't make 650a fuse also the amp has 3 sets of ground and power do all 3 power cables need to be fused off my second battery?

Hello all, I've run into a sort of predicament when trying to upgrade my aftermarket car stereo. I have a 2015 Chevy Sonic hatchback with an Alpine MRV-M500 mono block amp sporting a 10'' Kicker Comp VR sub-woofer in a ported box via 4g wiring. My current head unit is a Pioneer FH-X720BT. I...

I recently purchased a new amp (Polk Audio PA D1000.1) that is stable at 1 ohm. I was wondering if I am able to wire 2 Memphis SA12D4 subs to 1 ohm or do I have to stick to 4 ohms? If I am able to wire them at 1 ohm a wiring diagram would be much appreciated!

Hello, I got an 01 Ford Taurus and I'm trying to hook up a new radio headunit, but the wiring hardness in the car that was used for the old radio doesn't match up to the new radio? And the harness they gave me doesn't match color wise with stock one, so I wouldn't be sure on how to splice them...

Howdy Folks, I'm in the process of installing a new aftermarket radio, and I can't figure out why I keep getting static sound from the front left speaker, and no noise at all from the rear left speaker. The wiring harness I bought contained two ground wires, and two yellow wires, both of which...

Already have 2 power acoustics 12"s (1500rms/2700peak), and now I have a chance to get 2 kicker solo baric l7 15"s (1000rms/2000peak). I will be running 2 Hifonics Brutus 1700.1 amps. Which subs would be better? And how should I wire them, series or parallel?

Hello. I just bought an Android Car Stereo for my 09 Pontiac G3, for reference everything should be the same as an 09 Chevy Aveo.

Hey How I might go about wiring my sub (MA Audio Hardkore 15) to my mono block amp? Like I said in the title, it's a 1.5 Ohm QVC. I was wondering what my options for ending impedance might be and how to wire them? My amp is 1 Ohm stable, but I'm thinking something more like 2 Ohms (I know it...

Short Backstory: allowed my brother to install a sub system. He jacked up the wiring believe he split into the wrong remote wire behind the stereo. so you had to disconnect the subs at the amp or theyd kill the battery. The wife decided to have another guy "fix" it. Ended up with a three wires...

Okay so I have a 2003 Impala 3.4L. I recently purchased a plye touch screen radio setup. I have all the wire hook ups and such. The wiring from the aftermarket is corrected labeled but how do I hook them up to my impala wires? They do not match color codes I looked that up. It says I need to...

I am trying to install a pioneer stereo into an '89 Dodge Caravan. I am making my own wiring harnesses using the old radio connectors (which I have removed from the OEM radio's circuit board). My two main questions are: Where should I ground the new stereo? (The old radio had a flat braided...

OK guys, so here's the dilema! Bought my new HU (JVC KW-AVX830), went to buy the normal $6 wire harness, then bam! Supposedly you can't go with a generic one, because the dash lights, security system, etc. all have something to do with the HU wiring. So now I have to buy light a $60 harness, but...
